Watch out for parking if you come here for an event . The museum will only refund any amount over $10 if you buy a full priced admission to the place. The Hyatt next door is cheaper....

You Can have lunch and drinks at the Moshulu, next to sub .

Great for kids, lots of stuff to do.

Admission includes Admiral Dewey's Battleship Olympia and the USS Becuna !! A great opportunity to learn about Philadelphia's Maritime history!!

It's just not another boat museum . It actually tells the history of the Philadelphia waterfront...which is actually pretty cool.

Don't park in the $17 lot! Drive up to Walnut St bridge and park there or on chestnut St bridge . $1=1 hour
